    Yes, but there is a huge difference in responsibilities between the two.

    Becoming a Nurse - RN or LPN?

    LPNs can work in a hospital, but most cannot give out narcotics. LPNs are the scut nurses for RNs, the LPNs do the "dirty work" for the RNs

    Unfortunately, with your record, you won't be able to work in the medical field unless you get these charges exonerated.
